5.2. Registering Cameras to a Portable Base
During registration the base tells the camera what channel, address, and
camera number it should use. Also the base adds the unit to the list of
active cameras. Up to 30 cameras can be registered to one Portable Base.
NOTE: Only add one camera at a time to avoid possible communication
errors. Turn on the Portable Base unit before completing the following
steps.
To register cameras to a Portable Base, the camera should be unregistered.
Turn the camera on and wait until
REGCam
C---
is shown on the display. If
the display shows P-00000 , the camera must be unregistered first. Refer
to section 5.4 Unregistering Camera from the Camera located on page 15.
To ensure a reliable registration and initialization, it is recommended to
register the cameras before placing them in the field.
To register a camera to a base:
1. Turn on the power to the camera you wish to add to the Portable
Base. If you are wanting to add more camera, only turn on one at
this time.
•
Make sure the camera powers up and display shows
REGCam
C---
with a scrolling bar at the upper left hand corner.
If this message does not appear, the camera is either already

alone mode.

antennas connected and batteries are charged to 50% or more.
